Links won't open from Outlook Express 6

[Jonny69]

I can't for the life of me find what option I need to tick and I'm sure it's very obvious... when I have an email with a web link it doesn't open a browser window when I click it, I have to copy the link and paste it in the address bar of my browser

Outlook Express 6 and Firefox 2 on Windows XP 32 bit

Sorry for a vague answer, I've seen this one before, but cannot remember the entire fix

I'm sure it was to do eith the program settings, in internet explorer, check that outlook express is set as the mail program

I know you use firefox, but ie and oe have some shared settings between them. if that works you can still have the links opening in firefox as normal. You just have to try the settings in ie even though you don't use it at all

I just googles it and found http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/et_fix_links.htm

That sounds like the fix I used many years ago
